Three Chinese students are under investigation over footage captured by a drone of a United States aircraft carrier and naval facilities in South Korea in June, local police said on Wednesday.
The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan, a port city located on the southeastern coast of South Korea, where U.S. Navy aircraft carriers frequently visit.
The Chinese nationals were caught flying a drone toward South Korea’s Naval Operations Command in Busan where aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt was docked on June 25, local police said. They are accused of illegally filming the vessel and military facilities.
I rember being allowed on to Theodore Roosevelt as a teen in the early 90s when they had a stop close to one of the islands in Greece. Its a huge ship!
“Three Chinese students are accused of capturing drone footage of a US aircraft carrier … Here’s a drone picture of that aircraft carrier.”
It’s only illegal when Chinese people do it
“Here’s an official picture released by the US Navy of the ship in question.”
FTFY
The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan

37 and unhappily in school
Practical assignment for a postdoc in espionage
Kids just aren’t allowed to have fun anymore
Not defending these wahoos but those ages wouldn’t be too weird if it’s someone going for their masters or doctorate after working a number of years post bachelor.
